NOTE
This section describes mesh networking (setting the radio’s base and client bridge configuration) at a high
level. For a detailed overview on the theory of mesh networking, see “Mesh Networking Overview” on page 515. For
detailed information on the implications of setting the mesh network configuration, see “Configuring Mesh
Networking Support” on page 519. To review mesh network deployment scenarios, see “Mesh Network
Deployment—Quick Setup” on page 530.
The Radio Configuration screen displays with two tabs. One tab each for the access point’s radios.
Verify both tabs are selected and configured separately to enable the radio(s), and set their mesh
networking definitions.
To set the Altitude 35xx radio configuration (this example is for a dual-radio access point):
1 Select Network Configuration > Wireless > Radio Configuration from the Altitude 35xx menu tree.
2 Enable the radio(s) using the Enable checkbox(es).
Review the Radio Function to determine if this radio is currently functioning as a WLAN radio
(typical access point functionality) or has been dedicated as a WIPS sensor.
Refer to RF Band of Operation parameter to ensure you are enabling the correct 802.11a or 802.11b/g
radio. After the settings are applied within this Radio Configuration screen, the Radio Status and
MUs connected values update. If this is an existing radio within a mesh network, these values update
in real-time.
